Automation Ideas

There are many ways that you can benefit from the prayer time sensors.

1. Execute action upon x minute before prayer time.

Example: 15min before Maghrib, play random surah. 15*60 where 15 is in minutes.

{{ state_attr('sensor.solat_maghrib', '24hours') == (now().strftime('%s') | int + 15*60) | timestamp_custom("%H:%M", false) }}

2. Random play audio

Example: Random play Surah before/after azan.

  - service: media_player.play_media
    data:
      media_content_type: audio/mp3
      media_content_id: |
        {{ ["media-source://media_source/local/audio/surah1.mp3",
            "media-source://media_source/local/audio/surah2.mp3",
            "media-source://media_source/local/audio/surah3.mp3",
            "media-source://media_source/local/audio/surah4.mp3",
            ] | random }}

3. Others

Send notification to any Android TVs and perhaps then shutting off the TV.
Example: Alert family to get ready for Maghrib. Then turn off the TV 😁
